Rod Stewart heads out with Steve Winwood to "Live the Life"

British rock star Rod Stewart will follow up some Las Vegas residency shows with "Live the Life," a North American arena trek featuring fellow Brit Steve Winwood.

Stewart and Winwood will join forces for the April 10 kick-off in Chicago and move through eight cities across the eastern U.S. The pair's three-week outing concludes May 1 in Toronto, after which Stewart will head to Europe for a round of solo performances.

"I'm thrilled to be touring with Steve Winwood," Stewart stated in a recent interview on "Live! With Kelly and Michael." "He is truly part of the rock and roll's enduring tapestry."

Tickets for the tour go on sale Saturday (12/8). More information is available at Stewart's website.

Twice-inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stewart (as a solo artist and as a member of The Faces), released "Merry Christmas, Baby," his first holiday album, in October via Verve Records. The covers collection debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and at No. 4 in the U.K. Albums chart.

Stewart also unleashed his first memoir, "ROD: The Autobiography," in September. The career-spanning book currently sits at No. 24 on the New York Times list for best-selling hardcover nonfiction.

Grammy-winning Steve Winwood last released "Nine Lives," which surfaced in 2008. The fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's hits include "Gimme Some Lovin," "Higher Love," and "Can't Find My Way Home."
